Software Architecting (2II10)

2005-2006

Dr. M.R.V. Chaudron

Check OWINFO for the most recent schedule.

News

à The questionaire should be handed in no later than Wednesday 26 Oct 2005

Recommended books:

I recommend that you use the following book to read up on the material discussed in the lectures.

Software Architecture in Practice, Bass, Clements & Kazman, Addison Wesley. Make sure you buy the 2^nd edition of 2003.

If you have little experience with UML, I recommend to also study Large Scale Software Architecture by Garland & Anthony, Wiley, 2002.

This book pays more attention to the UML than the BCK book and includes some practical ‘how-to’ chapters based on industrial experience.

Guidelines for Good Design:

The preliminary schedule below is under construction
